For all of you "Wildbears" out there, have fans emailed Huggins before? If so, has he responded?

I was a former track runner at KSU in the late 90's/early '00. I just sent Huggy an email. Think he will respond?

I bet it is writing the president. You might get a form letter say thanks but Huggins is not going to persoanlly write you back.

Don't think that he will write back? Man must be super busy or he doesn't like fans all that much.

Which one is it?

I am going to go with super busy. Believe me he loves his supporters.

Huggins is kind of funny about email and Internet and stuff like that. He avoids it with distain. At least that is what I have heard from people who know him well. But if you wrote him my snail mail he just might respond.

FYI: He also won

He must be decent with the internet, its essential for recruiting these days.

If he doesn't reply I won't take it personal. I just told him how pumped I would be to see "Kansas State" appear on a bracket on Selection Sunday.

If he replies, I'll post the message.

BTW,

This board seems pretty cool. Hopefully the topics and posters will pickup once practice starts next month.

Seems like this board is just waiting for the season to start, then it will erupt with opinions.

That rivals board is trash, but the Kstatefans.com one is decent.

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure he doles out those tasks to his assistant coaches. Huggins main sources for information is mostly the wide network of other coaches and scouts that he has forged good relations with over his 25+ years of coaching. But I

Your right, if it deals with computers its not him. He is more of a personal person eventhough you dont see that on the outside. He would rather talk to you on the phone or in person rather than go through the internet.

I would agree. We need a few more posters to make this place home but as soon as basketball season get underway this place will be doing just fine.

Well I saw Huggy's interview on TV during the Football game. To date, no email from Huggs...

:shhh:

IMO, if a college bball coach has time to respond to every letter he gets, then hes not doing his job right. Just win games, thats all I ask. I didnt evenb think Huggs owned a computer anyways.

He seemed pretty excited during the interview. It was nice to see Huggs at the game supporting the football team. Didn't know that he was a big football fan. Too bad Huggs wasn't here during the 90's, because he would have seen defenses consistently ranked in the top 5 annually.

I don't think Assburied ever went to any football games

Seems like the guy has a habit of saying funny things during interviews because he got the chic reporter laughing along with the guys in the booth.

I can't wait for practice to start next month! I hope this place will be crawling with posters!

This will be THE site for me when it comes to BBall

We are trying our best but since I don't live in Kansas I don't have the connections. You other posters gotta help us out. I will try my best if you guys do that same. Thanks guys. Lets make this THE place like he said!

i emailed Huggs years ago about being able to sit in on his practices. He replied saying I needed to set it up with his assistant coach and he gave me the info.

From there I pressed my luck and emailed again just to chit chat ( I have met and spoken with Huggs a few times, he knows the face not the name) he replied again saying he remembers me. Later i emailed again after his heart attack but never heard anything. I guess it would depend on what you write and if you post that you got a response, I'd bet he'd get about 2,000 emails, and that would discourage him from replying.

Then again, I'm just a likable SOB. I hung out with mark Cuban one time and he told me to look him up whenever i'm in Dallas.

"Your right, if it deals with computers its not him. He is more of a personal person eventhough you dont see that on the outside. He would rather talk to you on the phone or in person rather than go through the internet."

I will see if I can get some of the guys from the SCOUT and RIVALS site over here to post come bball season.

I don't think having some of those people post over here is a big deal. But I am very excited for this upcoming season to begin!!!

Unless he knows you, he won't respond. Even when he was sick the responses came from his sec'y. I think her name was Renee, or something like that.

Wonder if she also came with Huggy to KSU? ;-)
